As a deputy campaign manager of and special advisor to the Philadelphia mayoral campaign of Maria Quiñones Sánchez, my particular areas of responsibility are coalition building, community engagement, creating candidate exposure opportunities, fundraising and special projects. Maria is the real deal as she has the heart and passion of a community activist and the pragmatism and policy chops of one of the more successful legislators in Philadelphia City Council. As a long time servant leader within the communy, Maria inspires me as no other elected official has, which is why WHEN she wins, I am confident that she will gives the City of Philadelphia the leadership it so richly deserves and so desperately needs.
